Zoo day & Camera woes

Saturday was such a beautiful day. It was 79 degrees, a slight breeze and almost no humidity, a rarity in these parts. So we decided to have our first zoo day. When we were in D.C in July we went to the zoo but it was so hot we just saw the Pandas and left. I think it was the first time I have gone to a zoo and seen every single animal. We have an amazing zoo. The exhibits are so well planned out that there are multiple views for each one. The only exhibit we didn't see was the tigers because it's under construction but it gives us something to look forward to next time.

 The giraffe, ostrich and gazelle exhibit.

 His smile melts my heart. And yes I did match his outfit for the day on purpose.

Those are the only pictures we snapped of our AMAZING zoo day. I was handing Ken the camera to take pictures of Kevin and I and he thought I had it and I thought he had it so together we let go and ... THUD. Our camera hit the ground and that was the end of our camera. The lens was out and of course that's how it landed, lens down. So after our zoo trip we took a trip to the NEX (navy exchange) and found an amazing deal on an upgraded version of our camera. I LOVED our camera and really didn't feel like getting used to a completely different kind, so we stuck with what we knew just upgraded. Well, when we got home and started playing with it we noticed it had a front LCD screen that allows you to see yourself when you turn the camera around to take a front picture. Talk about awesome!! We were very excited and immediately tried it out.

We love our new camera with it's nifty front screen!!
